BitGo CEO Puts 100 BTC in a Wallet to Test Anthropic’s Claude Security Claims
BitGo CEO Mike Belshe has publicly challenged Anthropic’s AI assistant, Claude, by placing 100 BTC into a wallet and inviting the system to move the funds. The challenge is framed as a test of Claude’s security claims in a real-world scenario involving cryptocurrency custody [1] [2].
Multiple reports said Belshe’s challenge followed Claude-related incidents in which real-world tests allegedly resulted in three breaches; however, as of Aug. 2, on-chain data reported by outlets indicated no outflows from the 100 BTC wallet [3] [4].
